Guild Wars 2

I decided to avoid HoT for a few days and spend some time on Halloween but im starting to wonder is there any point for Vets?

I already did all the achievs in previous years and spendt some time in the Lab and nothing new dropped after opening 200 bags – just the usual rubbish so im presuming the drop rate is rough, I recall getting personalised bags with better drop rates from the Lab bosses last year – this seems to have stopped.

Frankly having opened all my stashed SW champ bags last night the thought of farming and opening tonnes of bags for the slight chance of new items makes me lose the will to live – ive aslo heard the old pvp style game has gone aswell – am I missing something here? is this event more geared to those who haven’t taken part before?

Yeah, drop rate for the new stuff seems crap. But then the Halloween stuff always has crap drop rate’s.

umm.. wut? The drop rates for the rare items was lowered, A LOT. Everything in ToT bags is much more common now.

I got a mini devil dog from a stack of bags. People are saying the necklaces and other old rewards are dropping more frequently. Frankly, I’m having fun running with new players who are doing it for the first time.

I only ran around lab for maybe 15 mins if that. Already got axe drop, headpiece drop and a new mini.. Maybe I just got lucky.

You mean “increased” I suppose.

Could i get you to post the Headpiece and Axe? ; . ; I can’t find a good picture of any of the halloween stuff anywhere outside of my own Devil Dog that i pulled after 200+ Bags :s

Yes TY I’m honestly SO fuming mad on the subject economics in game right now, I can’t even think straight.

Sure here are some SS.. Headpiece is more for LOL’s it looks. The mouth of the karka looks like it is eating my hair as it moves around a bit

Sorry been busy in HoT. Didn’t realize you posted 4 hours ago :/

That is the best helmet in the game. Must have.

Ok – ive now opened 400 bags and not had anything drop apart from the usual Halloween food, chattering skulls etc – that seems like a lot when drop rates are now supposed to be good?

Yeah, I’ve had the same. Still early in the event yet, but still. Once I’ve done the achievements, I’ll probably go play HoT, or work on my rev. Seeing as Halloween is not advancing masteries.

I got the karka helmet en de devil dog yesterday out of the bags. Last year i didnt got any special, so i dont complain.

Karka on your face helmet is funny, hehee

One word, Fun. If its not your thing don’t do it.
Personally I think the Halloween events are the best of yearly events, and cant stop giggling at the Mad King’s jokes, even though I have heard tham all a hundred times. The clock tower is still a challenge, and a blast, and I only really do it for the challenge

(and yes, I am a vet for my sins)

Considering I was just asking about drop rates please don’t turn this into some opportunity to lecture about ‘fun’ when its got nothing to do with the question…

Everyone is saying drops are common and 600 bags later I haven’t got anything drop other than teeth, skulls, etc which incidentally you cant even spend at the vendor this year – so you can now only upgrade them if you want to make the very rare weapons with Gifts.

And no Dyes either…and the personalised ToT bags don’t drop when they used to either – basically I think its been nerfed and I don’t care how much I normally enjoy Halloween – in a world where they are nerfing everything right now in terms of rewards it grinds my gears.
